The Rogers outage was a reminder that the failure of some technologies can make an entire society vulnerable. But we need to remember that software glitches are not the only threat.
At some point – perhaps next year, perhaps decades from now – the entire sky will turn red as a deluge of high-energy particles from the sun strikes Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere. As a result, power grids, telephones and the Internet could be inoperable for months – perhaps even years.
The B.C. Supreme Court has dismissed a defamation case against a news outlet brought by a Surrey trans activist, saying the outlet acted in the public interest.
Jessica Simpson brought the claim against Rebel News Network Ltd.
Action: Seventeen Canadian Liquified Natural Gas projects that would have eliminated the need for Germany to import Russian gas were stymied by impossible-to-meet government rules that required emissions resulting from their construction and operation be “net zero.” The Canadian government’s delusionary “net zero” target also drives policies that stymie exports from this country’s oil reserves, the third largest in the world.
Consequences: Germany faces the Hobson’s choice of continuing to fund Russia’s brutal invasion or face disastrous natural gas shortages. Russia becomes the world oil market’s “swing producer.” Oil prices skyrocket, raising the cost of transportation for both industry and individuals. Inflation wreaks havoc across the globe.
The mother of a 10-year-old rape victim told Telemundo on Thursday that her daughter is “fine,” suggesting that the media are lying about her daughter’s alleged rapist, 27-year-old Gerson Fuentes.
Fuentes was arrested and charged with first-degree rape on Tuesday after allegedly confessing to raping the Ohio minor, who reportedly became pregnant and obtained an abortion out-of-state.
Less than halfway to its goal of bringing 40,000 Afghans to Canada, the federal government is no longer taking new referrals for the special immigration program meant to prioritize former employees of the Armed Forces or Canadian government and their families.
CBC News has learned the government is processing the last of the 18,000 applications filled out by Afghans hoping to come here through the program. Advocates for refugees say the decision to wind down the program abandons Afghans desperate to come to this country.
Did anyone ever believe the numbers thrown round by the Trudeau government? 40K? 18K? I doubt both numbers. It’s hard to believe that many Afghans even with the inclusion of extended family ever “worked” for Canada.
If someone did work directly for Canada then we have to honor the agreement but not for their 40th cousin 17 times removed. This program sounds like it was deliberately built for abuse.
Monkeypox cases spike in Canada – has the risk level changed in the country?
Since its unusual emergence in the West this spring, monkeypox has been a topic of discussion among Canadians as officials work to limit its spread.
On Wednesday, Canada reported a 59 per cent increase in monkeypox cases over the last week – mirroring a trend of rising cases reported across the globe.
House Republicans are demanding the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) release body and surveillance camera footage as well any other footage in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Wisconsin Rep. Glenn Grothman, Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert and South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman first requested the information from the DOJ in October 2021. Now, they are re-upping their inquiry, asking Attorney General Merrick Garland to release the information since their constituents have a “growing concern” with the DOJ’s “apparent failure” to do so.
Seventy per cent of Canadians agree the widespread delays at airports across the country are a “national embarrassment,” a new poll suggests, with nearly 60 per cent of people saying they are avoiding travel until the situation improves.
But the Ipsos poll, conducted exclusively for Global News and released Friday, found Canadians believe there’s plenty of blame to go around for the delays between airports, airlines, the federal government and even travellers themselves.
The Trudeau government wants you to become used to travel restrictions. It’s all part of the green-scam.
In January 2022, in the wake of the January 6 anniversary, Epps’ name was raised by two Republican senators, Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton, who questioned government officials about whether FBI agents or their confidential informants incited or were part of the pro-Trump rioters on January 6, according to CNN. Epps’ name has circulated for days on social media, including on the Twitter pages of sitting members of Congress.
In 2019, Justin Trudeau increased Canada’s budget for international assistance to $6.2 billion dollars. In 2020, the Liberals increased foreign aid assistance by 7.7 percent over the previous year.
The 2021 federal budget added an additional $1.4 billion for international assistance over a five-year period. Most foreign aid donations involve transferring funds to the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and African Development Bank.
Let us understand this in basic terms. Each year, our ruling government extracts approximately $7 billion dollars from Canadian taxpayers, and ships the funds to the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and the African Development Bank.
Canada’s finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, has told Russian officials at a meeting of G20 finance ministers that she held them personally responsible for “war crimes” committed during Russia’s war in Ukraine, a western official said.
Freeland directly addressed the Russian delegation taking part in the meeting of the Group of 20 major economies, telling them on Friday: “It is not only generals who commit war crimes, it is the economic technocrats who allow the war to happen and to continue,” the official said.
An article published in the peer-reviewed periodical of the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) states that healthcare workers were among the “most likely” to express vaccine hesitancy at the beginning of the pandemic.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the report is based on a survey of 15,000 people across Canada.
And still no one is asking why.
We still have no answers as to why Kamala Harris left the Capitol on the morning of Jan 6 and went to DNC HQ. DOJ and Harris concealed this detail for nearly a year–and J6 committee has no interest in the “threat” posed by a “pipe bomb” near incoming VP?https://t.co/2BxgTLxcBr

The governor of the Bank of Canada showed immense incompetence and arrogance, dismissing Pierre Poilievre’s warnings about higher interest rates – warnings which proved prescient.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she still feels unsafe in the Capitol because there’s been no explanation as to why Capitol police opened the doors for rioters on January 6, 2021.
